Who are we?

We are The Roundtable! A group of young, nerdy and damn well passionate content creators who specialize in entertaining the masses - best known for our Steven Universe Discussion series
Crystal Clear!

Cool Beans, what brings to you Patreon?

We're glad you asked! The Roundtable has existed since May of 2016 and after just one year we've built a community of over 200,000 people! Each and every day we're thrilled that so many people care about our content and what we make and are looking to expand both the content and audience each and every day. While we adore Steven Universe and have an undying love and motivation to always produce content around the series, it's not the only interest we have at The Roundtable. We live by the motto "Plus Ultra" - to go further beyond. Recently we just got registered as a legitimate business and aim to expand that legitimacy. That's why we're here!

As of right now the channel's main series are Crystal Clear, Mewni Monday, Let's Talk with Tom!?, Vox Box, Roundtable After Dark and general animation news/discussion videos. While we're happy with each series and their ever-growing audience on our channel, Vox is the one who writes, records and edits four out of those five mentioned series, although we do have a secondary editor in the form of our social media manager, Will. In order to properly expand and create more content at a consistent pace and maintain a level of quality, we're going to need to hire more people to help us create more content.

After YouTube and our network take their share of our monthly ad revenue and TeeSpring has their cut of our merchandise, we're left with funds that's not nearly enough to accommodate our future endeavors and sustain ourselves in our personal lives.

We don't want and will not employ anyone without the funds necessary to compensate them.

What new content do you have to offer?

There are many concepts for new shows that are constantly being discussed and evaluated by us as a collective team which we'll reveal more of as we level up, but a main goal is to increase the quality of our existing shows such as Let's Talk with Tom!?, by upgrading the equipment and sets used to create said shows.

Another main goal is to assemble a team of artists, writers and voice talents to produce a 5-part animatic fan-fueled and made, passion project - Steven Universe: Man vs Gem (Working Title) an original story that sees Steven and the Crystal Gems face off against a human adversary.

It doesn't stop there! After months of planning and consideration we want to create a consistent and entertaining amount of content for Roundtable Gaming and Roundtable Vlogs, the former of which was unveiled a long time ago but sat quiet. Rest be assured - we plan to launch content on this channel by the end of March, but delays could always be a factor.

Why pledge my hard earned money to you? Where is that money going?

To reiterate, this funding will go to the continue wage of our social media manager and secondary editor Will, employing new people to help produce a high quality level of content, better equipment and software and bring to fruition more projects and content on the channel(s).

Not only that, but a really huge goal for us right now is to no longer work out of our respective shared households, and relocate into a studio/office where we can push ourselves to even further limits and create mind blowing content for your consumption. Having a studio/office means a sound enviornment to properly work on content without having to rush and worry about accommodating other people that live in our respective households. It means having the enviornment, time and space necessary to launch our daily livestream talk show, Roundtable Roundup, the daytime counterpart to Roundtable After Dark, which will greatly benefit from such a move as well. And Taco Tuesdays.

These are all very expensive endeavors and as previously mentioned, our current amount of money does not meet the requirements.

If there's one thing some people love to do, it's belittle those who make a living off YouTube.

This had little time to just be a fun hobby, although making videos was a leisure activity for all of us before the channel came into existence.
